Climate in Bahrain
Bahrain's weather is generally warm and dry. The most pleasant times to visit are spring and autumn, when sunshine is abundant and temperatures are warm but comfortable, often accompanied by mild breezes. Summers are extremely hot and humid, though toward the end of the season a dry north-westerly wind known locally as the 'Al Barah' may bring some relief. Winters are cooler and occasionally affected by low-pressure systems that bring rainfall. Annual rainfall is low, and the majority of it falls during the winter months.
